The Winter Olympics

Once every four years, the global powers of the world band together in an ongoing diplomatic effort to decide what, exactly, curling is and how it ever became a thing people did. 2018's festivities will take over the city of PyeongChang, South Korea, for two weeks in February. One extremely chill story to look out for: The women's Nigerian (!) bobsled (!!) team will compete, marking the first-ever time (!!!) the African nation is represented at the Winter Games.

A Royal Wedding

Prince Harry and literal American dream Meghan Markle will get hitched. Reports are, it will be an intimate, casual ceremony at a rustic little chapel in Windsor Castle. Just your typical pastoral burlap-and-mason jar fête, you know. For Americans, it's a fantastic excuse to wear a funny hat and drink alcohol before noon. As is tradition, the Brits will pretend not to care, but the sudden boom in royal wedding-themed collectible plates and caganers will prove otherwise.

Movies

If you want to make the most of 2018, you should probably just glue yourself to a movie theater seat. Elsewhere, "A Wrinkle in Time" drops in March, "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" comes out in June and -- this is the one you've all been waiting for -- the awkward conclusion of the deeply unsexy "Fifty Shades" oeuvre will grace theaters in February, just months before it's scheduled to show up in one of our 3 a.m. self-loathing Netflix binges.

4
The World Cup

Just because we're not GOING doesn't mean we can't have a GOOD TIME, okay? This is like the royal wedding of soccer. We are not invited, it has nothing to do with us, but we'll still wear silly hats and cheer like the loud, spectacle-loving people we are. Mark your calendars and choose your teams, America. June and July belong to the World (minus us) Cup.

Trip to Moon

In 2018, Silicon Valley startup Moon Express (slogan: "The Moon is Me") says it'll "definitely" land a craft on the moon, paving the way for a generation of rich space casuals to populate it like it's the latest trendy New York City borough. If Moon Mission is successful, it would be the first private company to land a craft on the moon. The company's final goal? To get folks on the moon and mine it for natural resources.

A Titanic Diving Trip

Most people find the Titanic disaster at least marginally interesting, but if you're one of the special few who're really, REALLY into its history and lore (and you're super rich), this news is for you. Starting in May 2018, super fans will get an opportunity to take diving trips to the wreck site. Sure, the underwater postmortem will set you back more than $100,000, but travel company Blue Marble Private says the price tag is actually equivalent, after inflation, to what first class Titanic passengers paid for their tickets way back in 1912. Cool! A little morbid, but cool!
